i'm victor blackwell sitting in this morning for randi kaye. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com we start this hour in the middle east. there's a bit of hope for a negotiated cease-fire. leaders from egypt and france are trying to mediate. for the past five days israel and hamas have fired rockets and bombed one another, israeli air strikes have taken a heavy toll on gaza and hamas. right now israel is keeping open the possibility of a ground offensive. they've got 30,000 troopons the border with another 75,000 reservists being called up. now, i want to show you something that played out live on israeli television just a short time ago. watch this. what you're called is called an
3:02 am
iron dome. this is egypt's defensive zone system. they're tracking down two rockets. at the end, the small puffs there, that's the signals of success that those intercepters headed off those rockets. so far israel says a thousand rockets have been fired. hamas puts it at about 900. the constant threat has those in israel in fear. >> reporter: there's another attack, another rocket alert going on. we've got to get out of here. >> go, fred. there you see it. a strike in ash colon. we've got the pictures up as fred and our camera crew get out of the way. it's a sign that another strike is coming. can we listen here? >> reporter: and we have the
3:03 am
impacts. we can stay on, we can stay on, we can stay on, colleen. >> we're with you. we're with you. >> reporter: you still there? >> yes, go ahead. >> reporter: colleen, basically what happened is the air sirens went off and we ran to sort of a shelter that we have right here. this is a residential building. we're sort of in the house. we heard one impact. the alarms seem to have died down. we're going to sort of get up and wait. stay down. we're going to stay down actually is that that was our fred pleitgen. tell us how things have changed there. there's a new normal. >> reporter: oh, you're absolutely right. the new normal is that basically people have to live with the threat of rocket attacks the entire day. what they do is stay inside most of the day. it's interesting to see. every time people go outside they have to plan their route
3:04 am
very carefully so they're near the vicinity of a hard shelter in skas there's another rocket attack. i can tell you this morning there's been a lot of them. i'm standing in front of those iron dome rocket intercepter batteries right now and literally about four minutes before our show it wechblt off and fired about three intercepter missiles that hit about four hamas rockets i would say about 200 yards above our head. we ourselves have been in the hardened shelter at least four time as day. so certainly it's taking a heavy toll on life. people can't get on with business. people are living in constant fear and a lot of people tell us they hope this ends soon, victor. >> let's talk about this on the border. what are you seeing as the 30,000 troops move and wait for the order and the 75,000 reservists coming up.
3:05 am
>> reporter: it's constant action and constant military buildup. what you can see is a lot of trucks bringing in tanks, bringing in armored vehicles, armored bulldozers as well. you see a lot of troops, a lot of soldiers being brought in. it's a lot of constant activity. what's happening is a lot of these troops are being concentrated in heavy areas, which means they're putting them in place for ground defensive. what they're telling us and the israel defense forces are telling us, they're in the mode of buildup. they're doing that very, very quickly. and they will be ready to launch a ground offensive if they're ordered to do so, victor. >> fred pleitgen live in israel for us. thank you. be sure to be safe. the skies over gaza are filled with skies of rockets. they're targeting rocket-launching sites and key buildings in gaza, they include
3:06 am
key stations. cnn senior international correspondent sarah sidner filed this report overnight from gaza city. >> reporter: today like the last few days we've been hearing the drones ahead. we've also seen plenty of rockets at a time heading over toward israel. right now we're hearing the sounds of planes and that usually only means one thing, that there will be air strikes that follow. it's this time of night and into the wee hours of the morning that usually things get very, very intense with lots of blasts of air strikes. but also we know that there have been some blasts coming from the israeli ships in the sea. we ourselves experienced some of the loud booms and bangs that were coming from the sea. we were right on the water there. so a lot of concern. the civilians are not in the streets. most people have hunkered down in their homes. most of the businesses have been
3:07 am
closed. we know that more people have been killed here, including militants and civilians, and many people have been injured today. sara sidner, cnn, gaza city. >> dramatic rescues are taking place in gaza city. look at this woman in palestine and a man trapped under debris after an air strike. our news desk is monitoring the situation in gaza and israel. this situation, nick, is changed by the minute, nick. what are we learning? >> it's taken a lot of grim turns, victor. good morning. we're at the news desk, we monitor all the feeds and latest editorial info, coming through here, monitoring the latest conflict. victor, five days of war between palestinian militants and israel has taken its toll. hundreds injured, dozens dead, and we're starting to see these personal stories, victor, emerge
3:08 am
from the conflict. earlier you said the palestinian paramedics struggled to remove an elderly woman from debris from an ief. earlier you heard prime minister benjamin netanyahu talk about terror targets. but it's not just showing up on the gaza strip. it's occurring in israel too. we heard earlier rockets landed in ashkelon, a city near israel. in the past three days at least three people have been killed in israel. we're cooping an eye on everything that's come in. and video is pouring in. once we have more information, we'll bring it back to you. but that's it for now, victor. >> well, i want to put back up this live picture that we've been seeing. this is from reuters, and this is gaza city.
3:09 am
and, of course, as we see things live, we're going to bring those to you. nick valencia monitoring and bringing things to you. thanks for that. could this whole thing be a political game? aisle e ask one of the world ice leading experts on the conflict. and president obama woke up in thailand this morning. what's on the agenda for his historic trip to asia. ♪

every day nearly nine million older americans don't have enough to eat. anything else? no, not today. join me, aarp, and aarp foundation in the drive to end hunger by visiting drivetoendhunger.org. bp has paid overthe people of bp twenty-threeitment to the gulf. billion dollars to help those affected and to cover cleanup costs. today, the beaches and gulf are open, and many areas are reporting their best tourism seasons in years. and bp's also committed to america. we support nearly 250,000 jobs and invest more here than anywhere else. we're working to fuel america for generations to come. our commitment has never been stronger. at meineke i have options... like oil changes starting at $19.95.
3:12 am
my money. my choice. my meineke. >> how you like? this was amateur video. cnn is covering it like no other reporters can. covering this from all angles. 30,000 israeli troops on the border of gaza with another 75,000 reservists waiting to be called up. you know, this week's escalation between israel and hamas is just the latest round in the decades-long conflict. israel's air strikes have taken a toll, especially on civilians. meanwhile hamas has fired hundreds of rockets. some those rockets even reached jerusalem.
3:13 am
that changes the dynamic. joining me is a professor from middle eastern politics from the london school of economics and political science. sir, thank you for joining us. israel has threatened a ground offensive and they have thousands of troops at the border as we said. give us an idea of what it looks like and how it would compare to what we saw at the end of 2008, the beginning of 2009, the last time there was this kind of offensive. >> well, victor, if israel decides to invade this time, thing this would be a major strategic miss calculation. let me be blunt. schools of israeli soldiers were killed. hamas was not weakened. it was stronger. this time i fear that an israeli
3:14 am
invasion of gaza, ground invasion, would basically exacerbation israeli nation. in fact, i would argue that the future of the palestinian and israeli peace treaty is on the line, not to mention now turkey, qatar, they're all very critical of israel. israel has never been as isolated as it is now. when i listen to chatter of my fellow citizens in the united states and israel, i don't think there's an appreciation of the new strategic landscape in the region. there's a new regime. turkey is highly critical of israel. israel really is a fortress and that's why i fear a military invasion of gaza could really have major implications, not only deepening grievances between israelis and arabs but also long-time implications for the region as a whole.
3:15 am
>> a big unknown. mubarak is no longer there. we have a variable that we didn't have in 2008 because no one really knows where his alliances lie. so chapter two, you said this would be a miscalculation for israel go in. what does it look like as we move forward, second week, third week? >> i have no -- you never know. victor, when you start a war, you never know how the war will unfold or evolve or will take. you have 2 million people and any ground invasion will cause problems. i fear, too, you said egypt. egypt now is an entirely different country. it's governed by morsi, a member of the muslim brotherhood and
3:16 am
also for our american viewers he's a member of the muslim brotherhood between hamas in palestinian can territories and the muslim brotherhood. morsi is between a rock and a hard place. he's under tremendous pressure and also his relationship with the united states. that's why i believe that egypt has a very constructive role to play in the deescalation. >> we'll see how that plays out. i hate to interrupt, but we have a lot going on. thank you very much. fawaz gerges. of course, we'll have you back. let's go to asia where president obama is on a historic tour this morning. his first stop is thailand. we'll tell you why this trip sets him apart from other u.s. presidents.

>> reporter: these are the air strike sirens in israel this morning. we're learning that the french foreign minister will be traveling to israel today to try to work out a cease-fire between the israelis and the palestinians with hamas as there has been this firing back and forth across the border for the last five days. and, of course, we're covering from every angle. some other stories we're

following. in turkey, the worker for a party has called for the end to a mass hunger strike. others have taken to the streets to demand that the kurdish language be taught in school and allowed in courtrooms. kurdish palestinians as well as inmates have taken part in this hunger strike. some have gone without food for a solid 66 days. the coalition is getting more support as the brutal civil war is going on. it's guesting a big boost from the ambassador to france. the coalition's newly elected leader is meeting with francois holla hollande. president obama arrived in thailand overnight. he's already met with the king. and right now he's getting ready to meet with the prime minister. white house correspondent dan
3:22 am
lothian is in bangkok this morning. what is the president hoping to accomplish? >> reporter: he wants to high light things, not just this country but other countries in the region. u.s. dealing with north korea, syria, iran. so this is part of the overall effort by the obama administration to continue pushing this refocus or this pivot is the word they like to use to asia. we saw last year, at the end of last year when the president did an asia trip and australia announced that u.s. troops, marines, would be going to that region. that was part of the defense component of this. they also see great benefits both domestically in the u.s. but also in this region. the president has talked about how trade in this region could lead to jobs at home. so these are some of the issues that the president will be addressing, but perhaps first and foremost we'll be talking about the push for democracy across the region and how
3:23 am
thailand can play a role in that, victor. >> so myanmar is next. is that a bit controversial? >> reporter: well, it is. i mean this is a big moment because it's first time that a u.s. president has gone to myanmar, also known as burma. it is a country that has been closed until recently. about two years ago we've seen this sort of movement to reform, but the controversy believes it's too soon for the president to make a visit there because you only have sort of one first visit to make and it becomes a very big deal. and they point to the fact that, you know, secretary of state hillary clinton already went there at the end of last year. there's now a u.s. ambassador there and that there's such a long way to go on the road to democracy there that we're only in the first chapters of it that it's really too early. the country's still unstable. there's still a lot of corruption there, violence there, and yet the president is going there. and the defense from the
3:24 am
administration is they have rewarded action with action, and they point to the fact that when it was announced that secretary clinton would be going there and they would be putting a u.s. ambassador there, that's when you saw parliamentary elections. that's when you saw the easing and some of the ethnic tensions there. that's when you also saw them -- start paying more attention to the humanitarian concerns. they believe it's more important for the president to really highlight the steps that they're taking but also talk about how this is a long distance race, and they're far from the end. >> dan lothian in bangkok. thank you. and when the president meets with the president of thailand in less than an hour, of course, we will take you there live. it's been almost three weeks since superstorm sandy hit, but a lot of people are still, still waiting for their lights to come back on. why is it taking so long? yeah. one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against these digestive issues with three strains of good bacteria.
